The only practical purpose for sport mode for me is to tell the transmission to downshift, without having to put in "manual" mode. A quick tap of the button before I know I need a little boost, or if I feel the car start to bog down on a hill, and the transmission grabs a lower gear and off I...

There's an emergency release under a panel piece, but if I recall correctly the manual says if you use it you should take it in to the dealer to check for damage? Unless you absolutely have to get the gate open, I would just charge up the battery first.

AFAIK, all the "accessories" options are dealer install. The cars only come from the factory with or without the two packages, and of course the different color combos. The dealer configures the rest to your specification.

This is very likely not true. There is no flowmeter in the car AFAIK, the computer uses injector timing to estimate fuel injected indirectly. However that is subject to all sorts of errors including battery voltage, fuel pressure, temperature, etc, etc, the errors add up and compound fast. One...

The brakes on mine are really noisy when coming into and out of a complete stop sometimes. Anything from a ca-clunk to a series of squeals. It's worse when the car's been sitting, especially if it's rained. Dealer said it's "normal" and due to corrosion on the rotors, which I can believe, but...

Did my first fill-up and calculated 28.7 mpg. That's assuming the dealer didn't put any miles on it after filling up and that they actually topped it all the way off (using the delivered odometer number since they didn't set trip computer after fill up). Computer was reporting between 28-31...

Just got a set of Maxpider 3ds from eTrailer. I'm not too thrilled about how they were packed. They seem to have taken a set where they were folded over and now don't lay flat in a couple areas (noteably, under the brake pedal). The rear mat was folded so hard, there's actually a crease on the...

That's probably just a limitation of the antennna array to detect where the key is, which is usually something like +/- 10-15cm typically. From it's perspective, the key is outside. The antennas that detect the key for unlock and for start (which is what senses key-in-cabin for lock-out...

It's more likely they'll offer dealer swap to get the vehicle you want. Keep in mind, the car will have miles on it that way and they will probably get upset if you back out.

Jackrabbit starts aren't great for mileage, but you can actually accelerate pretty firmly and still get good mpg. The number one thing you can do, as far as driving habits go, to improve mileage is to use the brakes as little as absolutely possible. Everytime you touch the brakes, you're pretty...

I'm kind of shocked by how bad some of the mpg numbers being reported here are. I'm getting 30-32 mpg by the computer on my '16 CX-5 GT AWD. My commute is about 40% local, 20% freeway, and 40% freeway stop-and-go. I was actually shocked how good it was. I was expecting closer to the city number...

Haven't noticed too many bugs, but the software design is pretty awful and needs some tweaking. 1. No ability to cancel BlueTooth audio reconnection search. I don't always keep BT on my phone on and hate getting into the vehicle and having to wait until the pairing search times out before I can...

Edit: Figured it out. I remembered yesterday after locking myself out, I was driving somewhere else and noticed the door ajar light was on. If another door or the lift gate isn't fully closed, the anti-lockout feature doesn't work, allowing you to lock the doors with the door switch and then...

Is definitely not supposed to unlock from the outside if the key is inside, it's a safety feature to prevent car jackings (someone can't walk up to your car at a stop light or in a parking lot and force their way in) The warning beep thing is what the cruze does but as far as I can remember it...

Yeah, I found the lock settings, but it's just for adjusting when the car locks the doors when you start moving and such, nothing about lock out prevention.

Are you sure? With the key fob in the center cup holders, mine definitely will be locked if you push the button on the door and then close the door. I don't think it's an issue with the sensor either, since of it couldn't sense the key in the cabin, the push start wouldn't work.

(Solved) Customize locking function to prevent locking keys in car? Edit: Figured it out. I remembered yesterday after locking myself out, I was driving somewhere else and noticed the door ajar light was on. If another door or the lift gate isn't fully closed, the anti-lockout feature doesn't...
